Having faith in Jesus

  Having faith in Jesus

"Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." John 20:29.

Here is a blessing from Jesus to all who have not physically seen him, yet still believe he is who he claimed to be through faith.

Faith being defined in Hebrews as

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.  

This is what the ancients were commended for. Hebrews 11:1,2

In Hebrews 11 we read,

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6

Hebrews goes on to say,

“By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.  

By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. Hebrews 11:8,9.

These men born long before Jesus came to earth did not see him physically yet chose to follow Gods leading by faith.

And so it should be to day. We although we have not physically seen Jesus are called to believe in him.

Thus the question becomes do you believe by faith in Jesus?

Please think about it.
